Looks promising from the numbers. Any idealscope image?

Price slightly on the high side compared to online vendors but should be on par for brick store.

No idealscope image unfortunately. Is that something that can be requested from Bluenile?

 

[stone-cold11]

Nope, BN cannot get you that. Price is high for their virtual stone unless it is a Signature Ideal stone? Post the GCAL if present.

This is just regular ideal and not signature ideal. It looks like the HCA is 0.8 on this stone. Is there a big difference between 0.8 vs the 1.7 and 1.8 ones from JA?

 

[stone-cold11]

Nope, HCA is a rejection tool not a selection tool.

I would go with JA then, better price and with upgrade policy. Ask for idealscope image and the hearts image since the stone listed in the link are their H&A collection, if interested.

I think I'm down to the three amigos. All three are similar, but which one takes the cake?
